J. Embiid, who scored half a dozen points, helped the 76ers achieve their first victory in the series

The victory was won by the Philadelphia 76ers in the quarterfinals of the Eastern Conference of the National Basketball Association (NBA), which at home 125:114 (27:29, 28:29, 43:27, 27:29) defeated New York Knicks basketball players.

The Knicks had won the first two matches of the series in New York, so the Philadelphia club only softened the result of the series – 1:2.
